Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method to route internet data packets as described in the preamble of claim 1, an access node and a terminal to realize such a method as described in the preamble of claim 6, respectively, and a communication network including such an access node as described in the preamble of claim 8.
  • a method to route internet data packets in a communication network is common knowledge. Indeed, a communication network where e.g. internet data packets are routed between a terminal of a user and an internet service provider, the terminal is coupled via an access node to a local exchange which on its turn is coupled to a central office which includes in general a packet handler to route the internet traffic from the terminal towards the internet service provider.
  • a communication network where e.g. internet data packets are routed between a terminal of a user and an internet service provider, the terminal is coupled via an access node to a local exchange which on its turn is coupled to a central office which includes in general a packet handler to route the internet traffic from the terminal towards the internet service provider.
  • Such a communication network is traditionally dimensioned for voice traffic with a rather short duration time being compared with the average duration of an internet connection. Due to these long duration internet calls, the local exchange and the central office become congested whereby even usual telephone calls are not possible anymore.
  • a possible method to solve this congestion problem of the telephone network is to recognize calls to internet service providers by recognizing internet server provider numbers by the access node and to handle these internet calls differently from voice calls.
  • the recognized internet calls are routed by the access node not through the public switched network i.e. not to the local exchange, but via a dial-up data switch to the different internet service providers. Since the internet traffic is intercepted before arrival at the local exchange, the local exchange is released of those resource consuming calls.
  • This solution is used by the Access Node Data Direct from Northern Telecom which is described on the internet web site from Nortel which describes the product portfolio of Nortel and which was made available to the public on 21 of October 1997 at the address http: // www.nortel.com / broadband / access / datadirect.html .
  • a person skilled in the art knows that a possible way to recognize an internet service provider number is to control the telephone number of a desired connection upon its presence within a list of internet service provider numbers.
  • the list of internet service providers becomes a long list and controlling such a long list becomes a burden to the access node.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method to route internet data packets, an access node and a terminal of a user realizing such a method and a communication network including such an access node or such a terminal of the above known type, which releases the telephone network of the resource consuming internet calls, but wherein no list of internet service provider numbers has to be checked by the access node.
  • this object is achieved by means of the method to route internet data packets described in claim 1, the access node described in claim 6 and the communication network described in claim 8.
  • the present invention addresses this problem by providing a method to route internet data packets which includes the steps of transferring the internet data packets by the terminal to the access node via a predefined signaling-data channel of a predefined transport service being supported by a first link between the terminal and the access node, retrieving by a routing function means of the access node a value of a pre-configured user parameter which is set following the user's preferences and configuring an input user port of the access node accordingly and grooming the internet data packets from the predefined signaling-data channel upon receipt of the internet data packets by the access node, and transferring by the access node the internet data packets via a second link supporting a primary rate access transport service towards the internet service provider.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is to use for the internet data packets a predefined signaling-data channel from the terminal of the user up to the access node, to groom the internet data packets by the access node from the predefined signaling-data channel i.e. to separate the internet data packets from the signaling information and to prepare the internet data packets in order to be multiplexed and to be transferred via a second link supporting a primary rate access transport service towards the internet service provider.
  • the internet traffic is not routed to the local exchange whereby congestion due to the time consuming internet traffic is avoided and no list of internet service providers has to be checked by the access node.
  • ISDN integrated services digital networks
  • the use of the signaling-data channel i.e. the D channel of ISDN, to carry data on top of its signaling functions from the terminal up to the local exchange is known in the art. More specific, such a D channel can be used to access a public packet switching network whereby the local exchange is equipped to separate that part of the D channel which is carrying signaling information from that part of the D channel which is passed through the local exchange to a packet switching network.
  • This is e.g. described in the quarterly technical journal of Alcatel nv., Electrical Communication, Volume 64 number 1 of 1990 and published in July of 1990, and more particular on page 69, second paragraph of the first column.
  • a device A coupled to a device B should not be limited to devices or systems wherein an output of device A is directly connected to an input of device B. It means that there exists a path between an output of A and an input of B which may be a path including other devices or means.
  • XP004032486 deals with internal communications in a multiprocessor ISDN PXB providing different interfaces for ISDN connectivity (e.g. primary rate access ; page 392, column 1, lines 33-36 ; figures 1,3).
  • the predefined transport service supported by the first link is an ISDN basic access service as described in the characteristic feature of claim 3, the first link is a telephone line.
  • the predefined transport service is not limited to ISDN basic access services only, and that the first link is not limited to a telephone line either.
  • the aim is the availablity of a predefined channel used for signaling and also used for packet traffic like e.g. the 'D' channel of ISDN; and the slow associated control channel 'SACCH' i.e. a channel of Global System for Mobile Communication GSM which is used for the transport of signaling and which is also used for carrying data such as short messages.
  • the first link supporting the predefined transport service is a wireless link.
  • the method of the invention allows to upgrade at any moment the bandwidth of an internet session of a user by adding one or two 'B' channels to the connection via its normal ISDN calls on the 'B' channels. In this way, the use of the method of the invention is recommended for starting up an internet session and for maintaining the internet session as long as sufficient bandwidth is available and when more bandwidth is required one or two 'B' channels are added to the internet session.
  • a further feature of the present invention, described in claim 2, is that the method further includes the step of checking by the access node the value of a preconfigured user parameter which is set following the user's preferences. Indeed, by including this step the value of a preconfigured user parameter which is set following the preferences of the user, determines that the internet data packets are routed following the steps of the method of the invention c) and d) or not. It has to be remarked that the step of checking the user parameter not has to be executed just before an internet connection is set up between a terminal and an internet service provider. Indeed, this user parameter can be provided by the user to the operator in advance, whereby the user parameter is checked in advance and whereby e.g. the input user port of the access node being coupled to the terminal of the user, is preconfigured accordingly.
  • This step is realized by the access node wherein routing function means are provided to retrieve the value of the preconfigured user parameter and to configure the input user port accordingly.
  • Another characteristic feature of the present invention is that in the event of ISDN, X.25 type packet routing and the frame relaying type packet routing are both supported. This is described in claim 4.
  • a user parameter can be defined : a preconfigured user parameter for X.25 type packet or a preconfigured user parameter for frame relaying type packet, respectively. This is described in the method of claim 5 and realized with the access node of claim 7.
  • the communication network of the preferred embodiment includes : a plurality of terminals, an internet service provider ISP, an access node AN, a local exchange LE and a central office CO.
  • ISP internet service provider
  • AN access node
  • AN access node
  • CO central office
  • the terminal T1 is coupled via a first link to the access node AN.
  • the first link is an ordinary telephone subscriber line and supports a predefined transport service BA.
  • the terminal T1 is a personal computer.
  • Other kind of terminals are e.g. telephone unit, fax machine, answer machine, ... .
  • the local exchange LE and the central office CO are not relevant to the invention, but are included in this particular embodiment in order to explain better the difference between the prior art solution and the invention.
  • the local exchange LE is coupled to the access node AN and the central office CO is coupled between the local exchange LE and the internet service provider ISP.
  • the access node AN is following the invention coupled to the internet service provider ISP.
  • the transport service BA is an integrated services digital network basic access service i.e. ISDN-BA service.
  • the method described in this embodiment routes internet data packets IP between the terminal T1 of the user U1 and the internet service provider ISP.
  • the internet data packets IP are routed between the terminal T1 and the internet service provider ISP via the access node AN, the local exchange LE and the central office CO.
  • the central office includes a packet handler PH which enables the central office CO to route the internet traffic, coming from the terminal T1, to the internet service provider ISP.
  • one or two 'B' channels (not shown) of the ISDN-BA service are usually used for inclusion of the internet data packets IP, whereby a digitized ISDN-BA information signal which includes two 'B' channels and one 'D' channel is routed by the access node AN via an V5.1 interface to the local exchange LE.
  • the access node AN and the terminal T1 included in the communication network of this embodiment, are adapted as described in the following paragraphs.
  • the terminal T1 includes a transmitter TR adapted to transmit the data packets IP upon the user U1 its preferences via a predefined signaling-data channel of the predefined transport service BA. Since the predefined transport service is the ISDN-BA service, the predefined signaling-data channel is the 'D' channel of ISDN-BA.
  • the transmitter TR includes the internet data packets IP in the 'D' channel following X.25 type packet routing or following frame relaying type packet routing or both.
  • the transmitter TR inserts the internet data packets IP in the 'D' channel of the ISDN-BA service supported by the first link between the terminal T1 and the access node AN. This is expressed in the figure by BA(D ⁇ IP ⁇ . Digitized information including e.g. the internet data packets IP of the 'D' channel is transmitted by the transmitter TR to the access node AN.
  • the access node AN includes an input user port IN-U1, an output port OUT, a router R and a memory (see functional block of the access node which includes a table).
  • the input user port IN-U1 is coupled to the terminal T1 and to the output port OUT.
  • the output port OUT is coupled on its turn to the internet service provider ISP.
  • the memory is coupled to the router R which on its turn is coupled to the input user port IN-U1.
  • the input user port IN-U1 receives the digitized information from the transmitter TR and is enabled to groom the internet data packets IP from the 'D' channel. This means that the internet data packets IP are separated from other information included in the 'D' channel e.g. signaling information, without changing its contents.
  • the input user port IN-U1 generates in this way groomed internet data packets G(IP).
  • the groomed internet data packets G(IP) are multiplexed and are transferred via the output port OUT over a second link which supports a primary rate access transport service PRA ⁇ G(IP) ⁇ towards the internet service provider ISP.
  • a 2Mbit link is preferred for the second link, which supports a primary rate access transport service which offers thirty 64 kilobit per second 'B' channels and one 64 kilobit per second 'D' channel. It has to be remarked that the invention is not restricted to such kind of transport service. Indeed, a primary rate access may consist of e.g. 23B + D channels as in North America and some other countries.
  • the memory included in the access node AN includes a table which stores for each user U 1 its preferences regarding its requirement of the use of the primary rate access transport service directly from the access node AN towards the internet service provider ISP for the transmission of its data packets which are included in the 'D' channel. For each user a preconfigured user parameter for an X.25 type packet P1-P and a preconfigured user parameter for a frame relaying type packet P1-F is stored. This means that a user is able to express its preference for X.25 type packets included in its 'D' channel and for frame relaying type packets included in its 'D' channel and that this preference is stored in the table accordingly.
  • the router R is included in the access node AN in order to retrieve the value of the P1-P and P1-F parameters for the input user port IN-U1 and to configure the input user port IN-U1 accordingly. This means that in the event of e.g. - a positive value Y for the parameter P1-P, the input user port IN-U1 is configured as such and grooms X.25 type packets from the 'D' channel; and
  • a user can provide its preferences to the operator by e.g. a written acknowledgment or by calling a predefined number whereby its preferences are noticed and stored. In the same way the user its preferences can also be changed.
  • a further remark is that although in this preferred embodiment the possibility of a choice is left open due to the presence of the router and the table included in the memory, the present invention is not reduced to an implementation as such. Indeed, small modifications, evident to a person skilled in the art, may be applied to this embodiment to adapt it to configure the input user port IN-U1 permanently in one or another way.
  • one input user port IN-U1 might be coupled to more than one terminal, and that one terminal might support more than one logical channel.
  • terminal T1 with terminal equipment identification TEI1 supports a first logical channel with logical channel number LCN-IN1 and a second logical channel with logical channel number LCN-IN2.
  • LCN-IN1 and LCN-IN2 might have access to one and the same internet service provider or to a different internet service providers.
  • a first extra table is kept in the access node AN to store for each input user port e.g. IN-U1 all its unambiguous couples of terminal equipment identification with logical channel number e.g. for IN-U1 (TEI1, LCN-IN1), (TEI1, LCN-IN2), ... .
  • logical channel number e.g. for IN-U1 (TEI1, LCN-IN1), (TEI1, LCN-IN2), ... .

  • a unique logical channel out number i.e.
  • LCN-OUT is stored.
  • the internet packet is transferred together with the LCN-OUT in the time slot following its TS-ID of the link following the 2 Mbit link-ID to the internet service provider ISP.
  • This LCN-OUT number is used by the internet service provider ISP to send traffic, in the opposite direction, towards a predefined terminal. So, for the access node AN, upon reception of an internet data packet IP together with its LCN-OUT number, the first extra table is checked, and the access node AN knows to which input user port IN-U1 the internet packet IP must be routed in order to reach the exact logical channel LCN-IN at the exact terminal T1.
  • each input user port e.g. IN-U1 an unambiguous identification for each used logical channel for all its terminals : Data Link Connection Identifier number DLCI-IN.
  • each used DLCI-IN for one and the same user input port must be unique, since no terminal equipment identification is kept.
  • the identification of the primary rate access line i.e. 2 Mbit link - ID, the identification of the assigned primary rate time slot i.e. TS-ID and a unique Connection Identifier out number i.e. DLCI-OUT is stored.
  • the internet packet is transferred together with its DLCI-OUT number in the timeslot following its TS-ID of the link following the 2 Mbit link - ID to the internet service provider.
  • This DLCI-OUT number is used by the internet service provider ISP to send traffic, in the opposite direction, towards a predefined terminal. So, for the access node AN, upon reception of an internet data packet IP together with its DLCI-OUT number, the second extra table is checked, and the access node AN knows to which input user port IN-U1 the internet packet IP must be routed in order to reach the exact logical channel DLCI-IN.
  • the user U1 starts an internet connection on its personal computer T1(U1). Since its internet connection at start up does not require many bandwidth, the user U1 prefers to use its 'D' channel from its ISDN-BA line, lets assume, the X.25 type of packets for the transportation of its internet data packets IP to internet.
  • the user U1 already expressed in advance its preferences regarding the use of the 2Mbit link from the access node AN to the internet service provider ISP. Indeed, the user knows that in the access node AN, its preconfigured user parameter for an X.25 type of packet P1-P is positive programmed with Y and that its preconfigured user parameter for frame relaying type packets P1-F is negative programmed.
  • the user U1 makes the choice to include its internet data packets in the X.25 type of packets of its 'D' channel.
  • the transmitter TR included in its personal computer T1 includes the internet data packets IP accordingly and transmits a digitized ISDN-BA information signal towards the access node AN.
  • the input user port IN-U1 which is preconfigurred in advance following the preferences of the user U1, via the router R and the memory table grooms the internet data packets IP from the X.25 type of packets included in the 'D' channel.
  • These internet data packets IP are routed to the output port OUT which provides access via the 2Mbit link towards the internet service provider ISP.
  • the appropriate routing information is also stored in the first extra table from the access node AN in order to be able to route internet data packets going to and coming from the internet service provider ISP.
